Sarah Mclachlan
"Building A Mystery"
Of the Surfacing album
*Sarah uses a capo on the first riff for this song, but these are the
main chords*
*Also Sarah adds little parts in between verse and chorus and switches
some of it around, so I tried to make the song with all those little
parts it sounds really neat that way* = )
Intro: Finger pick these chords in the main intro, then the second time
you strum, then when you go into the verse you can finger pick or
strum.
-- Main intro: --
--
Verse:
You come out at night
--
that's when the energy comes
and the dark side's light
--
and the vampires roam
you strut your rasta wear
--
and your suicide poem
and a cross from a faith
--
that died before Jesus came
--
you're building a mystery
--
You live in a church
--
where you sleep with voodoo dolls
and you won't give up the search
--
for the ghosts in the halls
you wear sandals in the snow
--
and a smile that won't wash away
can you look out the window
--
without your shadow getting in the way
oh you're so beautiful
with an edge and a charm
but so careful
--
when I'm in your arms
(Chorus)
Bm G D (Or you can use D6 after D it sounds cool either way)
--
'Cause you're working
building a mystery
holding on and holding it in
yeah you're working
building a mystery
and choosing so carefully
Repeat first Verse.
You woke up screaming aloud
a prayer from your secret god
you feed off our fears
and hold back your tears
Give us a tantrum
and a know it all grin
just when we need one
when the evening's thin
Oh you're a beautiful
a beautiful fucked up man
you're setting up your
razor wire shrine.
Chorus
Bridge:
(Lead). // // // // ////
// // // // // // /// // //.
Then repeat Chorus twice and end "your Building a Mystery.." with D6 A
is my first time tabbing out, and this song was kinda hard with all
those little parts etc. I had to listen to it 6 times before I could
get it right.~
tab for this song so i thought I would send it again.~
